Ihave received the article with your
comments.[1]You have fine ideas of tact
towards editorial colleagues! You do not even shrink from choosing the most
contemptuous expressions, not to mention “voting” proposals which
you have not taken the trouble to formulate, and even “voting” on
style. I should like to know what you would say, if I were to answer your
article on the programme in a similar manner? If you have set yourself the aim
of making our common work impossible, you can very quickly attain this aim by
the path you have chosen. As far as personal and not business relations are
concerned, you have already definitely spoilt them or, rather, you have
succeeded in rutting an end to them completely.
